Corrections and Public Safety Committee, Delaware State Senate
The Corrections and Public Safety Committee is a standing committee of the Delaware State Senate.
Per the Senate Rules, committees of the Delaware State Senate are assigned by the President Pro Tempore.[1] The rules do not specify when or how often committees are assigned. A committee meeting can occur without the presence of a quorum. The chair of a standing committee releases a bill or resolution once it has been signed by a majority of members of the committee. Committee members that do not attend a meeting can later add their signatures to the legislation that was considered at the missed meeting.[2]
See rules: Senate Resolution 2
